This Week in the Nintendo eShop

The Doctors are in this week, as Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure brings Mario and Luigi's medical practice to the 3DS. Aside from that and the eShop release of Lego Jurassic World on Wii U and 3DS, the other notable release is Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town on the Wii U Virtual Console. If you're hankering for some Wii U Harvest Moon action and can't wait for Seeds of Memories, then the well-liked GBA game might be ideal for you.

prescriptions on your 3DS, then Dr. Mario: Miracle Cure is likely made just for you. It's similar to some of the past downloadable Dr. Mario games as it features regular single-player puzzle modes as well as online play. It also includes Dr. Luigi and Virus Buster, giving you more ways to use pills to delete viruses.

Ninja Usagimaru - The Gem of Blessings ($4.99)

If you've been longing for an eShop game that feels more directly inspired by Donkey Kong on Game Boy, Ninja Usagimaru might be close to it. This game features a variety of action/puzzle stages where you have to save villagers from certain peril, all the while avoiding obstacles. You can try a demo out if you're curious.

Swords & Darkness ($6.99)

Swords & Darkness is a side-scrolling action RPG where you journey through, well, darkness with a sword to save the queen of your kingdom. Along the way, your hero levels up and earns skills. This game definitely shows promise, and you can see if it actually lives up to that by playing the demo.

Japanese Rail Sim 3D Journey in Suburbs #1 ($9.99)

This game is a simulation of riding a train. That's right. This isn't a game where you lay down track and make your own train lines. Instead, you ride a train on the Nagaragawa Railway and experience riding the train through the beautiful Japanese countryside. While you're riding the train, you can build up high scores and hear Japanese trivia.

My Zoo Vet Practice 3D ($4.99)

Our friends at Treva are back, this time with a game where you take care of animals. In case you didn't know, they've made like 15 other games with very similar premises and gameplay. You can care for lions, tigers, and bears in this one, though, so there's that.

Wii U Virtual Console Games

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town ($6.99)

Originally released on Game Boy Advance in 2003, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is a very well received portable version of the long-running series. It is a remake of the PlayStation 1 game Back to Nature, which kicks off with your player character inheriting a large farm from a deceased old man. Unfortunately, you can only play as a male in this game. You can hold out for More Friends of Mineral Town to come out on Wii U Virtual Console if you want to play as a woman.

Wii U Retail Games

Lego Jurassic World ($49.99, Available June 12)

With Jurassic World the movie arriving on the same day, Lego Jurassic World helps lead a dino revolution. This Lego game features characters and adventures from all of the Jurassic Park movies. It also, by my count, contains the Lego version of Chris Pratt.

DSiWare

G.G. Series All Breaker ($1.99)G.G. Series Conveyor Toy Packing ($1.99)G.G. Series Shadow Army ($1.99)G.G. Series The Hidden Ninja Kagemaru ($1.99)

For some reason, seven new DSiWare games are now out on the eShop. They're all from the G.G. Series, which was a line of DSiWare games focused on bite-sized experiences that resulted in occasionally interesting games. You're forgiven for not remembering that, though, because DSiWare is ancient history.
